The Salvation Army

Love this place to donate and I always find great items! Halloween is the best time of the year

The best thrift store for furniture/​household/​knick knacks! Went to the one in fountain valley and some goodwills around the area, and this one had the most furniture by far! If you’re looking for clothes, this one probably isn’t for you, but they do have a small selection.

One of the better all around selection stores. Not big on clothes, mainly furniture and trinkets? But a very diverse selection. Worth going to if you need to fill a second bedroom with unique random things.

This store is great and they have a good selection of everything. I’ve found my share of some cool items and bargains here. Sometimes I don’t find anything to buy but it’s fun to scope out clothes and items I might need.
The staff is nice. I particularly miss Maria because she was so friendly. She was working there for 30 years and retired last year.
One of my gripes with this place is after work time the parking gets packed. People end up parking behind you and you’ll have to ask the cashier to ask the driver to move their car out. Also, I wish they would have 50% off discount on Fridays and $ 1 clothes days. Salvation Army headquarters has been changing the discounts daily so it’s been difficult gauge when to go for the best discount.
They’ve been mixing up the layout of the store and I think the new layout is growing on me. Clothes aren’t well organized but if you’re willing to dig around you can find some great items for your closet.

Terrific store, excellent customer service, low prices and lots of good stuff. They make it easy to plug in a radio to see if it works well. Plus daily sales. Easy parking and I always find something or two that I am pleased with and the check out price is lower than I expect. Clothes are not as low cost as other items. So much easier to shop at and half the price of the GoodWill that is nearby.

This Salvation Army is small, however, do not merely judge it by it’s look! I went here after going to the OC Good Will and I was disappointed from there because I didn’t find much goods and everything was still expensive. When I stepped into Salvation Army, there was a funky odor and the layout makes you feel awkward. Besides from that, I looked throughout the store and came across a picnic basket that had compartments for 4 plates and 4 cups. It was only 8.99 $ and there is a 40% off deal going on too! So I got about 3.60 $ off. Also, I found a vintage polaroid which is still working for about 8 $. Overall, I am extremely happy with my findings, as well as the price! SALVATION ARMY IS SUPER CHEAP COMPARED TO GOOD WILL. I will definitely have to come here once a month to look for «treasures» :)

Just like goodwill, Salvation Army has begun to jack their prices up. I have tried to shop at this store a few times being that it is in close proximity to one of my other fav thrift stores. Every time I walk out disgusted at the prices. Almost $ 20 for a Ralph Lauren sweater? Wha… I just saw that for $ 2.97 at the last thrift store! You guys are not buffalo exchange or crossroads. even they know that a ralph lauren sweater isnt worth that much! Yes the profits benefit a great cause but I can’t say that I am exactly thrilled by their pricing system. :(I feel bad for giving suchhhh a low rating for a store that benefits charity but dammit lower your prices, it’s not a Macy’s, it’s a thrift shop that sells used goods that were donated (aka no charge!).

I went again cuz it’s right by the Goodwill plant… Basically all the housewares were ridiculously marked up. I got a dish here without a lid for $ 7.99 and went to GW and got it with a lid for $ 4.99!
Tried to stop by again on a 50% off day… No parking. I just left.

I didn’t really see much here I’d be interested in buying based on my personal style but there were a lot of people shopping there when I went so it must be a popular location. The staff were super friendly, the racks were well organized and the store was pretty clean. I bought a bright pink blazer for $ 3.99, which is way less than it would have been at Goodwill! I wish there were a Salvation Army closer to where I live because Savers and Goodwill are going nuts with their pricing.

I love shopping at this Salvation Army store. It’s actually the first Salvation Army that I’ve ever been to.
The staff are really friendly, welcoming, and soooo nice.
I really love digging through all the women’s clothing racks in hopes of finding something perfect to add to my closet.
The only downside is the parking lot is tiny. It’s usually filled and when it is, I get sad about not being able to hunt.
Sometimes when I’m feeling determined. I U-​turn right back around, and pray that someone has left, and there’s a parking space for me.

Scored today, loved this store and staff. Dressing room with mirror. Great 50% deals and items fairly organized within. Definitely recommended!

This Salvation Army is pretty small but seems to have a good amount of things.
Doesn’t seem like a place that gets too crowded but I imagine if it does there could be some difficulty moving around the clothes racks.
Not the biggest selection of clothes but it’s always worth checking out.

On a mission to find some books & vinyl! I succeeded finding some interesting reads & a stack of comic books. All for under $ 5 total win for me :) Also they have daily specials. On this particular day it was 40% off everything except furniture! I asked about tomorrows special, but the cashier said it was a secret… Hmmm Illuminati strikes again

This is a review of their pick up process. I’ve scheduled a pickup online and they came on time near the end of the schedule band. They pulled out two bulky items (along with the rest of the pick up) onto my driveway from my home and then tells me that they’re not going to be able to place it inside their truck. They had plenty of room inside the truck but they said it was for next pickup. Now they could not tell me that before they pulled it out of my home? Also, they proceeded to tell me that they will be back tomorrow or the day after to make the rest of the pick up. I don’t believe him. Tomorrow or the day after? What kinda schedule is that? Very unprofessional.
And he also told me that I needed to pull the bulky item outside. When I asked for help, he got his assistant to help me. Huh? Maybe the driver was having a bad day or just a bad apple. I appreciate everything SA is doing and this review really isn’t meant for the entire SA model but this particular SA driver/​pick up process sucks.
I called the trash service to pick up the items even without waiting for the SA truck to come back because I think they were just BSing me. I’d be very surprised if they came back like they said.

there is always something in my arms when i leave this store. lots of cool dresses, a LOT of knick knacks, usually some good records (this is one of the last thrift stores i know that still charges a dollar or less for lps…), and lots of sales.
this place is dirt cheap, sometimes you can get a garbage bag of clothes for $ 5. just need to know the date.
the only downside to this place is that it doesn’t really regularly circulate the older stuff that isn’t selling and the parking lot is absolute shit! especially when there is a big sale, there is absolutely no room. i think there’s 10 – 12 spaces.
